Your Orthodontic Treatment Guide in Little Posbrook

Many people in Little Posbrook delay treatment simply because they don't know where to start. The pathway from first enquiry to fitted braces is more straightforward than most people expect. This guide walks you through the full journey from first assessment to long-term retention.

Making Treatment Go Smoothly in Little Posbrook

• Don't skip adjustment visits — each one keeps the plan on schedule; missing them just adds time later.
• Step up your cleaning routine — brackets and wires trap plaque, so interdental brushes and fluoride mouthwash matter more than usual.
• Aligner wear time is non-negotiable — under 20–22 hours a day and the plan slips, sometimes needing extra refinement trays.
• Report breakages same-day — a loose bracket or broken wire left unaddressed can undo weeks of progress.
• Retainers start the moment treatment ends — this is the single biggest factor in whether the result actually lasts.
